The only time I have ever setup a Pi was to run LightshowPi for. Singing Christmas tree at church. To run FPP do I need to load Noobs and then install FPP? Is all this info over on the Falcon Player website?

It can be done without the adapter, but I’ve not used it.
I think the process to setup WiFi to your configuration uses:
SSID = FPP
Password = Christmas
Edited: Then access via WEB on smart phone with FPP.local (or maybe 192.168-0.1)

Maybe I misunderstood the first post about the Ethernet adapter. Is that for setting up the Pi and FPP or just for communication to the Pi for the show? My show is completely wireless with ESP-01ís using a Ubiquiti NanoStation. I want this sign to be wireless as well. The Pi Zero has a WiFi adapter right?

Yes it is easier to setup the Pi over a wired connection, but once you configure it you can just leave it wireless. The easiest way to setup a Pi Zero is to use another Pi, like a Pi 3B, get it all configured then move the SD card (and USB if that is where you are storing the data) to the Pi Zero, that way you don't need to worry with an Ethernet adapter.
